Each of these simple machines connects to make our part of the Rube
Goldberg machine. First was the inclined plane and after the dominos then it hit the
car and went down the track. Then after that the car rolls off and hits a ball on the
teeter totter and after that the ball rolls and hits a weight knocking it into one of the
cups and the result weight shift allows the other cup to rise. After that the cup hits
another ball and that ball rolls and hits another, rolls over a second see saw and
The overall machine in general did not have many parts that worked the
weight of the amount of force almost broke a part of the see saw. Most of our
machines made flaws the only ones that actually worked were the inclined plane
and the pulley. The inclined plain worked with just the ball rolling down it and the
pulley system with a couple tries and the right amount of weight ended up working
much better than expected. Some changes made to our machines were for one on
the teeter totter with a larger teeter totter overall made it easier to have the rolling
over it.
